Field Agent in CrimeTracer Turns Disconnected Records into Investigative Leads

Investigations depend on connecting information, and that information often lives in too many places. A detective checks one system, then another, then asks a neighboring agency. Hours, then days, pass. A lead that could have taken minutes to confirm waits in line.

Delays carry weight. A suspect stays unidentified longer. A victim waits longer for an arrest. An officer heads into a call without a detail that was on record somewhere. CrimeTracer connects those records across jurisdictions.

Field Agent in CrimeTracer™ is an AI assistant that lets investigators, analysts, command staff, and patrol officers search and analyze connected law enforcement records by voice or text. It links people, vehicles, and locations across agencies, surfaces potential leads for review, and builds custom, presentation-ready reports and briefs from the results.

CrimeTracer started with a simple idea. Bring law enforcement data together in a central search platform so investigators can stop hunting system by system. Today, it is a nationwide intelligence network built on three data foundations with 1+ billion records.

• Data from over 2,500 agencies. Agencies contribute records from RMS, CAD, 911, LPRs, ShotSpotter, JMS, DEMS, court records, warrants, pawn tickets, and more.
• Public records through Thomson Reuters CLEAR®. Public records appear next to law enforcement data in one place, within CJIS-compliant boundaries.
• FBI N-DEx integration. Federal records sit alongside local and regional data in the same search.

That foundation supports three capabilities investigators use daily.

• Broad search reaches across all connected sources at once.
• Association-based search shows how documents, people, vehicles, firearms, and locations relate to one another.
• Consolidated views summarize a person or vehicle across every involvement, without jurisdictional boundaries getting in the way.

Investigators ask Field Agent questions by voice or text. It reviews links between people, vehicles, and locations that are layers deep, that span agencies and disparate records, then surfaces new leads from what it finds. Investigators then review those leads and decide whether to add them to the case folder in CrimeTracer. Investigators can also set alerts in those case folders to receive notifications when a new record matching the person, vehicle, etc. is added to the network.

Field Agent does not replace investigators or add people to the team. It gives your investigators a faster way to find links and leads that may have been overlooked or took days or even weeks to uncover. Investigators review the results, add what they know from the case, and make the final decision. Field Agent is the tool. The investigator leads.

Insights in minutes, not days: Research and deep case analysis is where Field Agent in CrimeTracer pays off. Field Agent reviews the records connected to a case and finds links between people, vehicles, firearms, and locations that would take hours to piece together. It returns insights in minutes, or even seconds.

The investigative skill in CrimeTracer lets you ask  Field Agent to help find leads that match a description, or to look for common vehicles, people, or locations between investigative leads. Using prompts like “Find any witnesses or victims who appear across multiple cases with [suspect]” might find commonalities that investigators overlooked in a manual search.  

One case, every partner: Investigators review each result and decide what goes into the Case Folder, keeping evidence in one place and shareable with authorized partners in other agencies.

Cross-jurisdiction cases stall when each agency holds its own piece. Case Folders put the evidence in one place and let authorized partners in other jurisdictions collaborate on the same case.

Alerts do the watching. When new records are added, the folder notifies investigators, so leads surface without another round of manual searching. Investigators spend less time rechecking systems and more time acting on what turns up.

Key facts without the lengthy page-by-page read: AI summaries pull key facts from long reports, so investigators don't have to read every page to find the one detail that matters. In CrimeTracer, AI summaries work in case folders, documents, or entities, like people or vehicles.

AI summaries pulls key facts from lengthy reports and records, giving at-a-glance summaries of leads, locations, and vehicles. Less time goes to manual document review.

Ready for the Next Briefing: Officers get field awareness from the Patrol Dashboard: recent crimes, BOLOs, active leads, and an AI summary of overnight activity.

Command staff and analysts get the Trends Dashboard, a citywide view of crime counts, trends, and hotspots.

The Audit Log records every search and login. Administrators can confirm users follow established policies and use CrimeTracer responsibly.

·         Your agency controls its data and what vetted law enforcement personnel outside the agency can see.

·         Role-based access limits visibility to what each user is authorized to view.

·         AI features follow strict purpose limitations. The AI features cannot expand data access and can be disabled by the agency at any time.

·         CrimeTracer is deployed in a CJIS-compliant environment, and data is encrypted in transit with mandatory multi-factor authentication.

·         CrimeTracer works within existing infrastructure, from any centrally managed devices, and across compliant networks.

Field Agent speeds up searching, synthesis, and analysis. It does not replace trained personnel. Every result is a starting point for review, and authorized investigators retain interpretation, validation, and investigative decisions.

Users can also ask Field Agent which source it used for an answer, so a lead can be verified before anyone acts on it.

Few agencies can add staff as fast as their data grows. They can change where staff time goes. Today, too much of it goes to finding information one system at a time. CrimeTracer connects records across jurisdictions, and Field Agent turns those connections into leads, reports, and briefs your team can review in minutes.

Field Agent in CrimeTracer does not replace trained personnel. It handles the searching, summarizing, and case analysis so your people can spend their hours on what they were trained to do: interpret, verify, and decide. It finds the needle in the haystack, surfacing details and connections people can miss, including new leads in cold cases. The result is not only saving time and using your data to its fullest for investigative and operational decision-making, but also identifying suspects, giving victims answers sooner, and giving officers more situational awareness before the call.
